15l + containers for bulk flour storage?

kate83

I've just got a 16kg bag of flour that I'm splitting with my mum but want to keep it safe from the evil psocids so I need a large container to put it in.
My rough maths say I need at least a 15l tub but largest I can find in the shops with a tight fitting lid is 13l - anybody seen anything suitable?

soz hope ths dosent sound silly but what about a kids plastic toy box with a lid?

Not silly at all, had a look at these while in Wilkinsons the other day - they are food safe but there's quite a large gap round the edge when lid is on so no good for flour

Sorry if I'm missing the obvious, but can you not get two smaller ones???

I would have thought two or three smaller tubs would be easier for moving about and storing.

Type in bucket lid on Ebay. There was someone on there selling 16 litre plastic buckets with lid (food grade) for fishing bait. 10 of them worked out at £2 something each.

Other than that ask in the bakery in supermarkets if they have any, local bakeries, delis etc.

home brew bins...come in various capacities and are food safe
